The South and the Tariff.

With the news of the great Protec-
tiOn awakening in Virginia comes the
information that strong Protection res
OlutiOns were only voted down in the
North Carolina Legislature by major
ity of three. A change of two votes
would have passed these resolutions.
The absence ofseveral Republicans and
Independents defeated the Protection
lists.
These resolutions were not of par
tisan character, and called upon Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike not to
yield to the idea of "a reformation of
the tariff looking to an abridgement OF
its Protective features" They set
forth the fact that the State of North
Carolina and other States of the South
were just entering upon a system OF
manufacturing and diversified labor
which has been pursued for many years
in the New England and other States
of the North. That Protection started
these industries The twenty-five
years of high Protective tariff have
been years of great progress and pros
perity to the Northern manufacturing
States. A continuance of this policy
would give the Southern States chance
also. To abolish it now would be more
disastrous to the developing industries
of the South than to the developed in
dustries of the North.

Orchard and Garden for 1887.

The progress of this unique illustra-
ted monthly journal is simply phenOm-
email. 1t is eminently original, being
written and published by fruit growers,
exclusively in the interest of hOrticul-
ture; and what gives it special value is
its freedom of speech and independence
Not only is it impartial and truthful in
text, but equally so in its illustrations
an innovation almost in horticultural
literature. Furthermore, it is ever
seasOnable, entertaining, progressive,
condensed, and altogether practical. In
addition to having secured the best
horticulturists throughout the country
as contributors, the following eminent
writers have been engaged as associate
editors: E. P. Roe, author of Success
with Small Fruits, The Home Acre, "
ETC.; A. S. Fuller, author of Small
Fruit Culturist, Grape Culturist," ;"
Practical Forestry" ETC.; Peter B.
Mead, formerly editor in chief of the
Horticulturist" E. Williams, Secre-
tary of the New Jersey State Horticul-
tural Society; d. B. Wier, the we'll
known editor and horticultural writer
of the West; Theo. F. Baker, whose
skill and success as a market gardener
and contributions have given him cele-
brity Abby Speakman, the able and
experienced writer on husehOuld affairs.
The journal is well printed on twenty
pages of the best paper, abundantly
illustrated, and how it can be published
at the trifing sum of fifty cents year,
or three months for only ten cents, is a
mystery. A specimen copy for the
asking. Address Orchard & Garden,
Little Silver, New Jersey.

Fallaoies of Strikers.

Perhaps the most persistent fallacv
INDUCED by strikers consists in the be.
lief or assumption that they have lieu
upon the places which they have
thrown up. This fallacy appears con-
splcnously in the strange "appeal"
issued by the 'lOngshoremen on behalf
OF the coal handlers. In this curious
document 1t is taken for granted that
the men who have struck can 90 back
to work whenever they please, and
that their places will be kept open for
them. Probably some such delusion ia
at the bottom of many strikers. but
how 1t can survive the rude shocks of
actual experience it is difficult to un-
derstand. AS matter of fact in nine
cases out of ten in which unskilled
labor strikes, it simply loses the oppor-
tunity to work for that employer. In
refusing to work save on their own
terms the men are within their rights,
put when they have quit work their
rights end, and the rights of any others
who may be willing to do the abad-
doned work begin. 1t is not possible
for these strikers to compel any en-
plOyer to take them back. There is
plenty of non-union labor to be had for
the asking, and that fact settles the case,
however reluctant the strikers NAV be
to realize it.
1t is another fallacy Of these men
that the public are in full sympathy
with them. That can hardly be the
case, seeing the injury and loss they
have inflicted upon the public. For
weeks now all business has been more
or less affected, and severe suffering has
been entailed upon the poorest and
most helpless element of the cOmmu-
nifty, through the blind obstinacy Of
men who refuse to see what every one
else has seen from the first, namely,
the hOpelessness of their position.
They have in all this time manifested
NAO ueLAOoI luuluCEcuCC 70 tue nllsculeI
they were doing and the hardship they
were infiicting upon the poor of New
York. They have done their best to
extend that privation to the whole COM
munity by producing coal famine in
this great city. And now they ac-
tually solicit money contributions from
the general public whom they have
been prosecuting and injuring, and in
so doing talk as if they really believed
their whole course had been eminently
magnanimOus and public-spirited, and
as if they were somehow entitled to be
supported in it by those whom it is
mainly directed against. This inability
to see things as they really are is sin.
gular, but it is a leading feature Of the
whole strike movement. All the cal
culations of the men are evidently
based on purely fictitious assumptions,
and the consequence is that they pass
from blunder to blunder until there is
no longer a possibility of self-decep-
ton, and then they are very angry
with all the rest of the world. This
method of procedure makes their edu-
cation unnecessarily costly and disa-
greeable.-N York Tribune.

died away, in disappointment he
turned to meet the calm, assuring smile
of his wife, urging him to be of good
heart, and since then where has not
the name of Goodyear penetratedP
The present hustle of fashion, before it
was hit on, increased the circulation of
the New York Ledger and other papers
to a large extent, and, indeed, it is
feared that so much inventive genius
has been displayed in this direction that
man in getting married runs some
risk of bigamy since without any
trouble as much woman can be found
on the bureau as elsewhere after retir-
ing. Now let us look at another pic
ture-MexicO. Here are a people so
conservative or cautious in the manage
ment of their affairs that they never
experience those financial earthquakes
called panics, who never over produce,
because they never invent, whose eli
mate and resources are unrivalled, and
for all that it must be repeated are so
Obtuse that some years ago delega-
tiOn of their prominent men were in
vited to witness the performance of a
train on a newly opened road, replied,
on being asked their opinion, "that
they very well understood what it was
that pulled the cars ahead, but they
could not understand what it was that
pulled the locomotive back" One
would think that such Obtuseness would
result in gain to this country for our
manufactured jimcracks, but it does
not. Mexico deals with Europe. So
does the South American Republics.
while the commerce ofthe United States
is confined by the nature of things to
its own interstate dealings, which rests
greatly upon barter or else overpro-
ductiOn strikes and all the upheaval
attendant upon disorganized labor
would not now afilict this country
And now is presented the real facts :
Is not the inventive genius being en-
couraged abnormally, and at the ex-
pense of the country's good, when the
means of distribution do not at all keep
pace with that of production, and when
we know that the men at the head of
our national affairs are wondering what
it is that pulls the locomotive back.

A New State House.

Why should not the General Assem-
bly, grapple at once with the inevitable
and take the necessary steps for build
ing a new State house out and out-one
that shall meet the needs of and he a
credit to the State? Why 20 Matching

if carried out. will be more than tenn
porary expedient. While, on the
other hand, the State has plenty of
ground right at hand and can build
thereon at a cost of not more than
100000 capitol adapted to our grow
ing requirements and this can be done
out of our regular annual surplus rev
enue without costing one cent directly
to any citizen. Any one familiar with
WilmingtOn's substantial, cOmmodious
and in every way creditable court house
must admit that 100000, judiciously
expended, will completely fill the bill ;
and this sum could readily be raised on
four per cent. bonds running 20 years
and redeemable, at the option of the
State, in annual instalments. Such
bonds would be snapped up at a pre-
MUM and the annual surplus, under a
continuation of the admirable manage
ment which has hitherto obtained, could
be depended on to take care of the re-
demption and interest fund.
And the beauty of it is that the peo-
pie need not feel the cost. This money
does not come from the farmer or the
mechanic. Neither pays one dollar oi
State tax. The State revenue comes
from railroad taxes, from licenses and
fees, from interest on investments held
by the State, and from a few minor
sources. OF the over $4,000 which
came into the treasury last year the
State treasurer's report shows that the
taxes on railroads yielded $41 ,528, in
terest on railroad bonds, $4,000
licenses, &C., turned over by the clerks
of the peace for the several counties
$45, ,432, and dividends on band stock
1 $4,545.
